Shakti Kapoor wants son Siddhanth to reprise his role in Satte Pe Satta remake

While Hrithik Roshan is in talks to reprise Amitabh Bachchan’s character in Farah Khan and Rohit Shetty’s Satte Pe Satta remake, Shakti Kapoor, who played Mangal Anand in the 1982 Raj N Sippy directorial, feels his son Siddhanth Kapoor would be the apt choice to play his part.

“I would like to see Siddhanth essay the role I played in the cult film,” the actor says, adding, “No one can play that character better than him. But I don’t know. It’s up to Farah and Rohit.”

When asked if he has spoken to the filmmakers, Shakti said, “I’m in touch with Farah but I haven’t spoken to her about Satte Pe Satta remake. She is a good friend and she knows Siddhanth very well too. If she feels he fits the part, she will call him. It’s her call as a director. She is an amazing writer and has a great sense of comedy, emotions, entertainment. And she’s got a wonderful producer in Rohit. I’m sure they’ll make a fantastic film.”
